right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.

1.3 Kickback safety precautionsWarning: Kickback can lead to dangerous lossof control of the chainsaw and result in serious orfatal injury to the saw operator or to anyone standing close by. Always be alert. Rotational kickback and pinch-kickback are major chainsaw operational dangers and the leading cause of most accidents.

KICKBACK may occur when the NOSE or TIP of theguide bar touches an object, or when wood closes inand pinches the saw chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fastreverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and backtoward the operator.PINCHING the saw chain along the BOTTOM of theguide bar may PULL the saw forward away from theoperator. PINCHING the saw chain along the TOP ofthe guide bar may PUSH the guide bar rapidly backtoward the operator.Any of these reactions may cause you to lose controlof the saw, which could result in serious personalinjury.

Beware of the following:Rotary recoil (Fig. 3A)A = Recoil distanceB = Recoil reaction zone

Impact/Jamming recoil and pulling reactions(Fig. 3B)A = PullB = Solid objectsC = Push

To prevent pulling reactions, place the wood you wish to cut against the claw stop. Use the claw stop as a pivot point during cutting.

1.4 Safety InstructionsWarning: When using petrol tools, basic safetyprecautions, including the following, should alwaysbe followed to reduce the risk of serious personalinjury and/or damage to the unit.

Read all these instructions before operating thisproduct and save these instructions.1. DO NOT operate a chainsaw with one hand!

Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation. A chainsaw is intended for two-handed use.

2. Do NOT use the saw if you are tired, ill or under

3. protective gloves, and eye, hearing and head protection devices.

4. Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chainsaw at least 10 feet (3m) from the fueling point before starting the engine.

5. DO NOT allow other persons to be near when starting or cutting with the chainsaw. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.

6. DO NOT start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.

7. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running.

8. Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting anything.

9. Carry the chainsaw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and

10. NEVER use a chainsaw which is damaged, incorrectly set or incompletely and loosely assembled. Make sure that the chainsaw stops when the chain brake is applied.

11. Shut off the engine before setting the chainsaw down.

12. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

13. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for springback so that you will not be

released.14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or

fuel mixture.15. Operate the chainsaw only in well-ventilated

areas.16. DO NOT operate a chainsaw in a tree unless

17. All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the user manual safety and maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chainsaw service personnel.

18. When transporting your chainsaw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.

19. DO NOT operate your chainsaw near or around

20. Do not tank fuel, oil or lubrication when the engine of chainsaw is running.

21. USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Cut wood only. Do not use the chainsaw for purposes for which it

was not intended. For example, do not use the chainsaw for cutting plastic, masonry, or nonbuilding materials.

22. The engine will create toxic exhaust fumes as soon as the engine is started. Never work in enclosed rooms or in rooms with poor ventilation.

Note: The following appendix is primarily for the enduser or occasional user. The chainsaw is designed foroccasional use by home owners, garden owners andcampers and is for general work such as

therefore appear extremely pale. The frequent use ofvibrating equipment may trigger nerve damage inpeople with an impaired circulation (for examplesmokers, diabetics).

Should you observe any unusual impairments, interrupt your work immediately and consult a doctor. Follow these instructions in order to reduce the dangers:

• Keep your body and in particular your hands warm when working in the cold

• Take regular breaks and move your hands to stimulate the blood circulation during the breaks.

• Ensure that the equipment makes the least possible vibration through regular maintenance and solid parts on the equipment.

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of theguide bar touches an object, or when the woodcloses in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. If thebar tip contacts, it may cause a lightning-fast reversereaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towardsthe operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top ofthe guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly backtowards the operator. Either of these reactions maycause you to lose control of the saw, which couldresult in serious personal injury. Do not relyexclusively upon the safety devices built into yoursaw. As a chainsaw user, you should take severalsteps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident orinjury.

1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

Before starting the equipment 5Important: Do not start the engine until the sawis fully assembled.

Important: Wear protective gloves at all timeswhen handling the chain.

5.1 Fit the chain barTo ensure that the bar and the chain are suppliedwith oil, USE ONLY THE ORIGINAL BAR. The oilinghole (Fig. 5/Item A) must be kept clear of dirt and anybuild-up of residue.

1. Make sure the Chain brake lever is pulled back into the DISENGAGED position (Fig. 6A)

2. Remove the two bar fastening nuts (B). Remove the cover (Fig. 6B).

3. Using a screwdriver, run the adjustment screw (D) COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the TANG (E) (projecting prong) is to the end of its travel toward the clutch drum and sprocket (Fig. 6B/6C).

4. Fit the open end of the chain bar over the die bar pins (F) (Fig. 6C/6D).

5.2 To install saw chain1. Spread chain out in a loop with cutting edges

(A) pointing CLOCKWISE around loop (Fig. 7A).2. Slip the chain around the sprocket (B) behind

the sprocket teeth (Fig. 7B).3. Guide the drive links into the groove (D) and

around the end of the bar (Fig. 7B). NOTE: The saw chain may droop slightly on the lower part of bar. This is normal.

4. Pull the chain bar forward until the chain is closely seated. Make sure that all the drive links are in the groove of the bar.

5. Fit the clutch cover and fasten it with 2 screws.

into the chain bar (Fig. 6D/Item G). The chain must not slip off the bar when you do this. Tighten the two nuts by hand and then follow the instructions for adjusting the tension in ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION.

5.3 Saw chain tension adjustmentProper tension of saw chain is extremely importantand must be checked before starting, as well asduring any cutting operation.Taking the time to make needed adjustments to thesaw chain will result in improved cutting performanceand prolonged chain life.

Warning: Always wear heavy duty gloves whenhandling saw chain or making saw chain adjustments.1. Hold nose of guide bar up and turn adjustment

screw (D) CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension. Turning screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE will decrease amount of tension on chain. Ensure

guide bar (Fig. 8).2. After making adjustment, and while still holding

nose of bar in the uppermost position, tighten the bar retaining nuts securely. Chain has proper

can be pulled around by gloved hand.

NOTE:binds, too much tension has been applied. Thisrequires minor adjustment as follows:

A. Loosen the bar retaining nut so they are adjustment screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE slowly. Move chain back and forth on bar. Continue to adjust until chain rotates freely, adjustment screw CLOCKWISE.B. When saw chain has proper tension, hold nose of bar in the uppermost position and tighten the bar retaining nut securely.

Caution: A new saw chain stretches, requiringadjustment after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal witha new chain, and the interval between futureadjustments will lengthen quickly.

Caution: If the saw chain is TOO LOOSE or TOOTAUT, the drive wheel, chain bar, chain and crankshaft bearing will suffer premature wear. Fig. 9 showsthe correct tension A (when cold) and tension B(when warm). Fig. C shows a chain that is too loose.

5.4 Chain break mechanical testYour chainsaw is equipped with a Chain brake thatreduces possibility of injury due to kickback. Thebrake is activated if pressure is applied against brakelever when, as in the event of kickback, operator’shand strikes the lever. When the brake is actuated,chain movement stops abruptly

Warning: The purpose of the chain brake is toreduce the possibility of injury due to kickback;however, it cannot provide the intended measure ofprotection if the saw is operated carelessly. Alwaystest the chain brake before using your saw andperiodically while on the job.

To test chain brake1. The Chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can

move) when BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACK AND LOCKED (Fig. 10A).

2. The chain brake is ENGAGED (the chain is locked) when the brake lever is pulled forward and the mechanism (Fig. 10B/Item A) can be seen. It should not be possible to move the chain (Fig. 10B).

NOTE: The brake lever should snap into bothpositions. If strong resistance is felt, or lever does notmove into either position, do not use your saw. Take it immediately to a professional Service Center forrepair.

5.5 Fuel and lubrication

FuelUse regular grade unleaded petrol mixed with35:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results.

Mixing fuelMix fuel with 2 cycle oil in an approved container.Shake container to ensure thorough mix.

Warning: Never use straight petrol in yourunit. This will cause permanent engine damage andvoid the manufacturer’s warranty for that product.Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for over 90 days.

Warning: If 2-cycle lubricant is to be used, itmust be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooledengines mixed at a 35:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycleoil product with a recommended mixing ratio of

damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warrantyfor that occurrence.

Petrol and Oil Mix 35:1 Oil Only

Recommended fuelsSome conventional petrols are being blended withoxygenates such as alcohol or an ether compound tomeet clean air standards. Your engine is designed tooperate satisfactorily on any petrol intended forautomotive use including oxygenated petrols. It isrecommended to use unleaded petrol as fuel.

Lubrication of chain and chain bar

must also top up the level of chain oil in the chain oil tank. It is recommended to use standard chain oil.

6.4 General cutting instructions

IMPORTANT: Please ensure you have necessary council approvals and training before felling trees!

FellingFelling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small treesup to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cutin a single cut. Larger trees require notch cuts. Notchcuts determine the direction the tree will fall.

Warning: A retreat path (A) should be plannedand cleared as necessary before cuts are started.The retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall, as illustrated in Fig. 14.

Warning: If felling a tree on sloping ground, thechainsaw operator should keep on the uphill side ofthe terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

NOTE: Direction of fall (B) is controlled by thenotching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider thelocation of larger branches and natural lean of thetree to determine the way the tree will fall (Fig. 14). Warning: Do not cut down a tree during high orchanging winds or if there is a danger to property.Consult a tree professional. Do not cut down a tree ifthere is a danger of striking utility wires; notify theutility company before making any cuts.

General guidelines for felling trees (Fig. 15)Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations,notching (C) and making the felling cut (D).Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the side ofthe tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure youdon t make the lower cut too deep into the trunk.The notch (C) should be deep enough to create a

should be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for as long as possible.

Warning: Never walk in front of a tree that hasbeen notched. Make the felling cut (D) from the otherside of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches (3-5 cm) abovethe edge of the notch (C).

Never saw completely through the trunk. Alwaysleave a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the trunkis completely cut through, control over the fellingdirection is lost.Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well beforethe tree becomes unstable and starts to move. Thiswill prevent the guidebar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the falling direction. Make sure no bystanders have entered the range of the falling tree before you push it over.

Warning:recheck the area for bystanders, animals orobstacles.

Important! Ensure the chain brake is disengaged(Fig. 10A) before starting the machine.

Felling cut1. Use wooden or plastic wedges (A) to prevent

binding the bar or chain (B) in the cut. Wedges also control felling (Fig. 16).

2. When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig. 17).

Warning: As the felling cut gets close to thehinge, the tree should begin to fall. When tree beginsto fall, remove saw from cut, stop engine, put chainsaw down, and leave area along retreat path (Fig. 14).

LimbingLimbing a tree is the process of removing thebranches from a fallen tree. Do not removesupporting limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut)into lengths (Fig. 18). Branches under tension shouldbe cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chainsaw.

Warning: Never cut tree limbs while standing ontree trunk.

BuckingBucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sureyou have a good footing and stand uphill of the logwhen cutting on sloping ground. If possible, the logshould be supported so that the end to be cut off isnot resting on the ground. If the log is supported atboth ends and you must cut in the middle, make adownward cut halfway through the log and then make the undercut. This will prevent the log from pinching the bar and chain. Be careful that the chain does not cut into the ground when bucking as this causes rapid dulling of the chain. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side.

1. Log supported along entire length: Cut from top (overbuck), being careful to avoid cutting into the ground (Fig. 19A).

2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from bottom (underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck)

3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second,

(Fig. 19C).Note: The best way to hold a log while bucking is touse a sawhorse. When this is not possible, the logshould be raised and supported by the limb stumps orby using supporting logs. Be sure the log being cut issecurely supported.

7.2.6 Chain bar maintenanceRegular lubrication of the chain bar (guide rail for thechain and teeth) is essential. The chain bar needs themaintenance described in the following section inorder for the saw to work at an optimum level ofperformance.

Caution: The sprocket tip on your new saw hasbeen pre-lubricated at the factory. Failure to lubricatethe guide bar sprocket tip as explained below willresult in poor performance and seizure, voiding themanufacturer’s warranty.

Tools for lubricationThe Lube Gun (optional) is recommended forapplying grease to the guide bar sprocket tip. TheLube Gun is equipped with a needle nose tip which is

the sprocket tip.

To lubricate sprocket tipLubrication of the sprocket tip is recommended after10 hours of use or once a week, which ever occurs

before lubrication.

Note: The saw chain does not have to be removed inorder to lubricate the teeth of the chain bar.Lubrication is possible during work, with the engineswitched off.

Warning: Wear heavy duty work gloves whenhandling the bar and chain.1. Set the On/Off switch to Stop (0)”.2. Clean the guide bar sprocket tip.3. Using the Lube Gun (optional), insert needle

nose into the lubrication hole and inject grease until it appears at outside edge of sprocket tip (Fig. 23).

Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely bykeeping the chainsaw well maintained.

saw with chain that is TOO TIGHT will contribute torapid bar wear.To help minimize bar wear, the following guide barmaintenance procedures are recommended.

Warning: Always wear protective gloves duringmaintenance operations. Do not carry outmaintenance when the engine is hot.

Turning the chain barThe bar should be reversed every 8 working hours toensure uniform wear.Keep the bar groove and lubrication hole clean usingthe bar groove cleaner supplied optional. (Fig. 24A)Check the bar rails frequently for wear and, ifnecessary, remove the burs and square-up the rails

Warning:bar.

Oil passagesOil passages on the bar should be cleaned to ensureproper lubrication of the bar and chain duringoperation.

Note: The condition of the oil passages can be easilychecked. If the passages are clear, the chain willautomatically give off a spray of oil within seconds ofstarting the saw. Your saw is equipped with anautomatic oiler system.

Automatic chain lubrication.The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic oillubrication system with a toothed wheel drive. Itautomatically supplies the bar and the chain with theright quantity of oil. The moment the engine is

plate more quickly as well.

The chain lubrication system has been set to itsperfect adjustment at the factory. If it requiresadjusting, take the saw to your nearest authorizedafter-sales service outlet.

A setting screw for adjusting the chain lubrication(Fig. 29/ Item A) is located on the underside of thechainsaw. Turning the screw counter-clockwiseincreases the chain lubrication, turning it clockwisedecreases the chain lubrication.

To check the chain lubrication, hold the chainsaw,with the chain, over a piece of paper and run it at fullspeed for a few seconds. You will be able to judgethe set amount of oil from the paper.

7.2.7 Chain maintenance

Chain sharpeningChain sharpening requires special tools to ensurethat cutters are sharpened at the correct angle anddepth. For the inexperienced chainsaw user, werecommend that the saw chain be professionallysharpened by the nearest professional ServiceCenter. If you feel comfortable sharpening your ownsaw chain, special tools are available from theprofessional Service Center.

Always sharpen the cutters only with outward strokes (Fig. 26) observing the values given in Fig. 25.After sharpening, the cutting links must all have thesame width and length.

Warningchips. When your chain starts to produce sawdust, itis time to sharpen.

After the blades have been sharpened 3-4 times,check the height of the depth limiter and if necessary

corner (Fig. 27).

Chain tensionCheck the chain tension frequently and adjust asoften as necessary to keep the chain snug on the bar,but loose enough to be pulled around by hand. (seealso point 5.3)

Breaking in a new saw chainA new chain and bar will need chain readjustmentafter as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during thebreak-in period, and the interval between futureadjustments will begin to lengthen quickly. Warning: Never have more than 3 links removedfrom a loop of chain. This could cause damage to thesprocket.
